After the three examinations, whether you pass or not is decided. The examination is the last elimination round, and the palace examination is the qualifying round. As long as you can get in, you will be a Tongjinshi at least. There is no need to review as hard as before the examination.
Most candidates, after studying for ten, twenty, thirty years, don't have the ambition to get a Jinshi degree, or at least a Jinshi degree. It's enough to pass the exam as soon as possible and put an end to this torture that takes place every three years and seems to have no end in sight.
Even young people like Ryan Cui wanted to let themselves go. Lu Juren went home to change his clothes in a hurry and went to find a place to drink with his fellow villagers to reflect on life. After the examination, some of the candidates in Qian'an went to celebrate with their fellow villagers, while some had not yet come out of the examination room. Old Mrs. Cui asked people to prepare several tables of good banquets for them to welcome them, but there were not enough people, and the dishes were all heated on the stove.
Ryan Cui brought Xie Ying back home, and those delicious dishes finally came in handy.
He asked people to set up a small banquet in his courtyard, and sent a few dishes to his grandparents and brothers and sisters. He also asked the kitchen to keep more stews and soups for the candidates who came back late. He wanted mostly side dishes, and asked people to open a jar of good wine that the Xie family had sent before, and put it in a small pot to warm it up. He picked up the pot and poured two cups with his own hands, nervously and expectantly.
